DEED EXECUTED AT FORT STANWIX NOV. 5. 1768. 

ESTABLISHING A BOUNDARY LINE BETWEEN THE WHITES AND INDIANS, 
OF THE NORTHERN COLONIES. 

[Lond. Doc. XLI.] 

To all to whom, These presents shall come or may concern. 
We the Sachems & Chiefs of the Six Confederate Nations, & of 
the Shawaneese, Delawares, Mingoes of Ohio & other Dependant 
Tribes on behalf of ourselves & of the rest of our Several Nations 
the Chiefs & Warriors of whom are now here convened, by Sir 
William Johnson Baronet His Majesty’s Superintendent of our 
affairs send Greeting. Whereas His Majesty was graciously 
pleased to propose to us in the year one thousand seven hundred 
& sixty five that a Boundary Line should be fixed between the 
English & Us to ascertain & establish our Limitts and prevent those 
intrusions & encroachments of which we had so long & loudly 
complained & to put a stop to the many fraudulent advantages 
which had been so often taken of us in Land affairs, which Boun- 
lary appearing to us a wise and good measure we did then agree 
;o a part of a Line & promised to settle the whole finally when so 
rver Sir William Johnson should be fully empowered to treat with 
is for that purpose And Whereas his said Majesty has at length 
riven Sir William Johnson orders to compleat the said Boundary 



588 


BOUNDARY LINE BETWEEN 


Line between the Provinces & Indians in conformity to which 
orders Sir William Johnson has convened the Chiefs & Warriors 
of our respective Nations who are the true & absolute Proprietors 
of the Lands in question and who are here now to a very 
considerable Number. And Whereas many uneasynesses & doubts 
have arisen amongst us which have given rise to an apprehension 
that the Line may not be strictly observed on the part of the 
English in which case matters may be worse than before which 
apprehension together with the dependant state of some of our 
Tribes & other circumstances which retarded the Settlement & 
became the subject of some Debate Sir William Johnson has at 
length so far satisfied us upon, as to induce us to come to an 
agreement concerning the Line which is now brought to a conclu¬ 
sion the whole being fully explained to us in a large Assembly of 
our People before Sir William Johnson and in the presence of His 
Excellency the Governor of New Jersey the Commissioners from 
the Provinces of Virginia and Pensilvania & sundry other 
Gentlemen by which Line so agreed upon, a considerable Tract of 
Country along several Provinces is by us ceded to His said 
Majesty which we are induced to & do hereby ratify & confirm to 
His said Majesty from the expectation & confidence we place in 
His royal Goodness that he will graciously comply with our 
humble requests as the same are expressed in the speech of the 
several Nations addressed to His Majesty through Sir William 
Johnson on Tuesday the first of the Present Month of November 
wherein we have declared our expectation of the continuance of 
His Majesty’s favour & our desire that our ancient Engagements 
be observed & our affairs attended to by the officer who has the 
management thereof enabling him to discharge all these matters 
properly for our Interest. That the Lands occupied by the 
Mohocks around their villages as well as by any other Nation 
affected by this our cession may effectually remain to them & 
to their Posterity & that any engagements regarding property 
which they may now be under may be prosecuted & our present 
Grants deemed Valid on our parts with the several other humble 
requests contained in our said speech And Whereas at the settling 
of the said Line it appeared that the Line described by His 


THE WHITES AND INDIANS. 


589 


Majesty’s order was not extended to the Northward of Oswegy or 
to the Southward of Great Kanhawa river We have agreed to & 
continued the Line to the Northward on a supposition that it was 
omitted by reason of our not having come to any determination 
concerning its course at the Congress held in one thousand seven 
hundred & sixty five and in as much as the Line to the Northward 
became the most necessary of any for preventing encroachments 
at our very Towns & Residences We have given the line more 
favorably to Pensylvania for the reasons & considerations men¬ 
tioned in the Treaty, we have likewise continued it South to 
Cherokee River because the same is & we do declare it to be our 
true Bounds with the Southern Indians & that we have an 
undoubted right to the Country as far South as that River which 
makes the cession to His Majesty much more advantageous than 
that proposed. Now therefore Know Ye that we the Sachems & 
Chiefs aforementioned Native Indians or Proprietors of the Lands 
herein after described for & in behalf of ourselves & the whole of 
our Confederacy for the considerations hereinbefore mentioned and 
also for and in consideration of a valuable Present of the several 
Articles in use amongst Indians which together with a large sum 
of money amount in the whole to the sum of Ten thousand four 
Hundred and sixty pounds seven shillings & three pence sterling 
to Us now delivered & paid by Sir William Johnson Baronet His 
Majesty’s sole agent and superintendent of Indians affairs for the 
Northern department of America in the name and on behalf of 
our Sovereign Lord George the third by the Grace of God of 
Great Britain France & Ireland King Defender of the Faith the 
receipt whereof we do hereby acknowledge. We the said Indians 
Have for us and our Heirs & Successors granted bargained sold 
released & confirmed & by these presents do grant bargain sell 
release and confirm unto our said Sovereign Lord King George 
the Third all that Tract of Land situate in North America at the 
Back of the British Settlements bounded by a Line which we 
have now agreed upon & do hereby establish as the Boundary 
between us & the British Colonies in America beginning at the 
Mouth of Cherokee or Hogohege River where it emptys into the 
River Ohio & running from thence upwards along the South side
